## Description

Product description

Review: Great quality - Used our walkie talkies today for the first time. It made backing up our trailer so much easier. Easy to used. Clear sound. Very portable and nice size. These weren’t expensive. They are easy to read also. Haven’t had to charge them yet and they came fully charged. Great product
Review: Awesome in every way - These radios are awesome. I took them to Jamaica and they performed wonderfully all along the beach into the hotel, and elsewhere around town. Battery Life: Lasts for days if you are just listening, otherwise transmitting will use up power. My girlfriend used them to gab with her friend for a full hour on the maximum power setting before they got low and had to be recharged. They are rechargable and the dock is easy to use, so you don't have to feel stingy about using them since you can just plop it on the dock. Range: Great range. I took them to Negril's 7-Mile-Beach and they worked fine from several miles down the beach to inside the hotel where we were staying. These radios have a power setting, so ensure you are on "H" (high) power to get the maximum range. Back home, I was able to go through buildings and obstructions and hear clearly a mile or two away from my apartment. NOTE REGARDING RANGE: the "36-mile" range is only for ideal conditions, e.g. you are both in the middle of an empty desert on a clear day, perched on top of a cactus with tin foil wrapped around your head. Nobody really gets the full listed range of any radio and you should understand that when purchasing. However, radios tend to use the same "ideal condition" numbers, so a 22-mile radio will be less powerful than this 36-mile radio. If your goal is maximum power you can still use this number to compare the power levels of different models. These particular radios have a diagram on the back of the box listing some shorter ranges you can expect in the woods, urban areas, etc. Clarity: The other party was always clear as a bell. They really sound great. Sometimes I would her other walkie-talkie users on the channel and they didn't sound as good, so I think the clarity has to do with a good microphone in this device, as well as the high power with which they transmit. I never had any choppy or unintelligible transmissions from these radios. I wish my cell phone sounded this good. Physical form factor: They are bulky compared to small cheap radios, but not so bulky that they don't fit in a pants pocket. I don't know how durable they are since I haven't broken or damaged one, but we did use one in light rain and it was fine. (I haven't tried the included headsets). Ease of Use: This was the best point to this product. I suggest sitting with the radios and reading through the manual, trying out the settings. This only took me about ten minutes. The manual is clear and the menu system is intuitive (basically, just keep pressing the menu button to scroll through all the options. To exit the menu at any point, press the talk button). Ease of Use for someone else: Before I gave a radio to someone else I first activated the key lock, which disables all buttons except for Talk, Call, and the volume/power knob. This way my friends and girlfriend could easily use the radio without having to really learn anything. They weren't able to accidentally change channels or butt-dial a configuration change which would have cut them off from the group. All in all I'm thrilled with these radios. I've gone through several walkie-talkie sets over the years and these are by far the nicest I have encountered.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much range can I expect from these radios in rugged, mountainous and forested terrain?**
A: It depends because there are 3 (yes 3) different FCC filing for the GXT1000. The newest GXT1000 radios made after Sept 2018 under FCC ID MMAGXT1050G are now only 2.5w. These radios are junk. If you can find GXT1000s a bit older before 2018 under the FCC ID MMAGXT1050P, those are a bit better at 3.07w. Then there's the totally discontinued GXT1000s manufactured before 2015 that have FCC ID MMAGXT950 that have the full advertised 5.33w. If you can get your hands on these older radios, they are amazing.

**Q: do I need a gmrs license?**
A: From someone who has worked at the FCC since the rule change, to the best of my knowledge: any GMRS or GMRS/FRS radio which is CAPABLE of operating above 2w of power requires a license, even if you only intend to use the lower powered channels. Currently the fee is $70 for a 10 yr term and it does of course cover immediate family members. The radio service code is ZA and you can to go to FCC.gov/uls to file. If you're having trouble, use the paper forms or call the 877 number for help.
There IS temporary operating authority available while the app is being processed, for up to 90 days. Download the 605 Schedule F from FCC.gov/forms, fill it out, and keep that on hand along with a reference copy of the application (available right after you submit, or in ULS License Manager under My Applications).
In reference to the shutdown: they're processing apps received during the shutdown but the latest public notice says to give it up to a few weeks. Use your temporary in the meantime. If you apply now, they're saying the newer apps should be processed in the typical 1-3 business days, assuming all goes well.

**Q: what is the best REAL range I can expect?**
A: There are certainly many different choices available to folks regarding radio choices.  Many consumers, however, fall into the trap of believing the misleading advertising that various manufacturer’s use to help sell their products, especially when they are in panic mode due to a natural disaster (like an earthquake) or (currently) various lock-down scenarios due to the latest overseas virus.
   
One frequently used example of this buying trap are the claims of 35 to 50 mile range from 1/2 watt UHF FRS/GMRS handheld radios with non-removable antennas (frequently seen on various Cobra, Midland, Motorola, and Uniden radios sold at various big box stores or on the internet).

At UHF frequencies (and with a decent antenna), you’ll normally get around 1 mile of range for every 1 watt of power on transmit, so a 1/2 watt big box store FRS/GMRS radio is likely to get only 1/2 mile of range, nowhere near the 35 to 50 mile claims shown on the box in large type (with the phrase “under optimum conditions” shown in very small type).  

What that means is that if one individual is standing near the cliff face on a tall 9,000 ft. high mountain and his friend is doing the same thing 35 miles away (with nothing between the two mountains but air), then they “may” get the 35 mile range as advertised.  When both individuals are at ground level, normal range is reduced to a 1/2 mile (or less) depending upon obstructions that may be in their way.

**Q: can you also use AA batteries to power these radios?**
A: Yes you can, however the output power will drop drastically (form 5 to I think about 2W) with no indication on the display - it would still show “H” for High power. 

With the included battery pack though (which is essentially 5 1.2 NiMH AAA batteries in series) it achieves 5W transmit power. 

Which means if you buy it because of 5W output you must use battery pack. However battery pack does not last long. It is only 700mAh. Radio consumes 42mA on standby. So about 16 hours standby time if you don’t transmit. Charding time on the other hand is 12 hours. 

Make your own conclusions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than before!
*by R***F on December 21, 2024*

We have looking for a decent two way radio system for months and we finally have a winner (for us at least). The Midland GMRS 3000 has better sound quality than many others. The volume ,especially, is much better than previous models. We have to make a conscious effort to not dial the volume up as much as we used to. The practical effective range of any GMRS radio, regardless of brand will never be as high as manufacturers claim UNLESS you have perfect straight line of sight between the radios. However we seem to get better range out of this model when compared to previous radios. This means an effective range of approx. 1.5 mile in areas of obstructed line of sight. These are more convenient then cell phones in many cases such as shopping in crowded stores, around our property, airport terminals, cruise ships etc. Instant communication is great without having to text someone and and wait for a response. There are earpieces provided if you care to use them. Recharging the battery packs is accomplished by either placing both or either them in the desk top charger or individually with the provided USB cord. The weather stations are nice too when you need to know about alerts when planning your activities. We have not used the repeater channels yet until we are more familiar with the process. A repeater can give you much better range. This radio ALSO has Family Radio Service channels which operate at a bit less power as I understand. No license is needed for FRS usage. However, a license is required for GMRS channels. This is a 10 year license, obtainable from FCC for about 35 dollars, covers your immediate family, and no test is needed!! Remember, these won't communicate across town or in congested city areas, but, for instant contact with in range, they work very well for us!
